Recently I have located some source material that I want to copy and
retain. It is on old open reel tapes.

My first attempt to handle this was to try to resurrect a Sony TC-366
unused for several years. It will wind and rewind but not play.

What are my best options to copy these tapes? Should I try to locate
a working Reel to Reel machine? Would it be worth trying to locate
someone to repair my TC-366? Should I find a professional copying
service?

Budget is a consideration. This is a one off project and costs should
not be disproportionate. I am currently located in Reno, so local
resources are limited.

Happy Holidays and thanks for your thoughts

try your local radio stations. some may still have a working reel to reel.
ask for the production director.
